It's Wonderful Expansion Many Miles
Above Stanley Pool.
AT its mouth the Congo river is Of
enormous depth. but only one hundred
miles or so above Stanley Pool. Captain
Braconnier said year or two ago tn At
.steam launches drawing barely tive
and half feet of water have to be
dragged along by our men," H H
Johnston mentions the same fact in his
description of the Congo. Our boat
is constantly running aground on sand

tracing the course of some hidden sand
bank" Stanley, Johnston and others
attributed the remarkable shallownese
of the river to its great breadth IN this
part of its course; but none of them
know how wide the river really il
above the kassai river.
We now have some new light on this
question. which is very interesting
one. because the Congo is next to the
greatest river in the world. and new
discoveries with regard to the river are
apt to be on a large scale. Captain
Rouvier has been surveying this part
of the river. and he finds that for q
distance of about fifty miles the river
is much wider than was supposed. Its
width. in fact is from fifteen to twenty
miles. . circumstance that has not
been discovered before on account OF
many long islands. some of which have
always been taken for one shore Of the
river 1t follows, therefore. that there
is an expanse on the upper Congo

1t Is easy to understand. therefore.
how it happens that the Congo is in
this place so very shallow, while in
narrow portions of the lower river nc

FOB OUR YOUNG READERS
TWO VIEWS.

know . bright young fellow.
And so. perhaps, do you.
Whose age nigh, range most anywhere
From six TO eight times two.
He's often gay and Jolly.
He's often kind and true:
And then AGAIN But listen
While I hold him up TO view:
He comes into the parior.
When a guest is sitting there.
And lifts his hat politely,
With deferential air.
He answers 70 your greeting
With modest manly ease,
And II Obliged TO pass you
Says: Excuse me, il You please"
He stooos 70 pat the kitten.
And takes the nesres: seat;
Nor Tits his chair against the wall,
Nor eleyates his feet
He listens with attention,
Or tell the latest news.
Or talks in modest fashion,
OF any thing you choose.
In speaking OF him afte-.
The guest is heard TO say:
"a noble, manly fellow
But listen still moment.
While / give the other view.
Which though it widely differs,
Is equally as true
The scene is at the table.
Where waits his vacant chair.
He slams the door. and takes his place
With most ungracious air.
His mothers kind 'Good-mornins"
Is answered with q growI:
His face last night 50 beaming.
Now wears an ugly scowl.
He grumbles at the bee:steak,
And calls the coffee slop;
-'If he could not do better.
He'd try once more, and stop"
His sisters Laughing answer
Is silenced from the start
BY some weighty observations
About her being smart"
When his meal. at length. is finished,
The paper must be read.
In the best seat By the fire.
With his feet above his head,
IT'S but the truth I'm telling.
Though it does seem very strange
That over any body
There could come such a change.
II any one should ask him
Whom he truly loved the best,
His mother. or the person
Who was but a passing guest
He would straightway grow indignant
And feel insulted quite.
Or think your mind had wandered,
Or deserted you outright.
Why should we keep for others
Each pleasant word or jest,
And save our grui;est manners
For those who love US best.
Then. while each friend and stranger
We treat with courteous care.
Let's save for loving home-friends
At least an equal share.

four miles from Raleigh, n. c., Hsrrison's
brigade, composed of the Eighth and
Elevnth Texas causlry, Fourth Tennessee
and Third Arkansas regiments, number
ing in all 500 lighting men, was attacked
by a federal brigade of cavalry number
ing about 1900 men. At the commence
ment of the attack the Texas brigade, ex-
cept three or four stragglers, were asleep,
having become worn out with their long
weary march from Atlanta, Ca, to
North Carolina, but true to their
reputation as one of the crack fighting
sbrigsdes in General Joe Johnston's army,
they selzed their guns end fired on the
enemy, who were in sixty yards OF the
main command before their presence was
discovered. Without q single reglmental
or brigade commander wi them, or TN
officer higher than the rank Of g captain,
the old brigade formed a line Of battle
and, with ca1biGe and siXshOoter, charged
the enemy and routed them, killing l50
and capturing $50 prisoners. General
Tom Harrison was at Raleigh, four miles
distant, with his stsff and other field
officers when the fight began, and when
he reached the tield-Which was sn hour
